European CMBS Monthly Bulletin (July 2019)

At the end of June 2019, the 12-month-rolling loan maturity default rate for the European commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS) in S&P Global Ratings' rated universe remained constant at 0%, as a result of no loan having defaulted at maturity in the last 12 months.

There were no loans scheduled to mature between June 1, 2019, and June 30, 2019. However, two loans were repaid during this period; the Cottbus Shopping Centre loan in DECO 14 - Pan Europe 5 B.V. was repaid at a loss, and the Le Mirage loan in Oranje (European Loan Conduit No. 32) DAC was prepaid in full.

The number of delinquent loans decreased to 15 from 16, and the number for special serviced loans decreased to 16 from 17 (see tables 2 and 3).

Of the €30.1 billion outstanding loan balance, €1.33 billion is scheduled to mature in the coming 12 months.

The information below is as of June 30, 2019, unless stated otherwise.

Key Figures

The outstanding rated European CMBS balance increased to €30.1 billion from €29.8 billion. The senior loan delinquency rate decreased to 23.1% from 24.6% (see table 1).

Data notes

The figure for the total number of loans in European CMBS transactions that we rate excludes the loans in small-loan transactions, nonperforming loan (NPL) transactions, and commercial real estate collateralized debt obligations (CRE CDOs).

Loan Delinquencies And Cures

The number of loans in our delinquencies index decreased to 15 from 16. This change was due to the Cottbus Shopping Centre loan within the DECO 14 - Pan Europe 5 B.V. transaction repaying at a loss.

Specially Serviced Loans

The number of loans in special servicing decreased to 16 from 17. The decrease was also due to the Cottbus Shopping Centre loan's repayment.

The loans in special servicing comprise mixed-use, retail, and office loans. The retail sector represents 41.4% of the total volume of loans in special servicing, compared with 34.6% for the office sector loans and 23.9% for mixed-use loans.

Loan maturity default rate and performance statistics

The maturity default rate remained at 0% (see chart 3). We calculate the 12-month-rolling loan maturity default rate based on the number of loans instead of the balance. This is to better reflect the overall performance of the collateral universe and avoid size bias.
